​John Riley Pottery

Pottery in Action

I genuinely enjoy meeting and communicating with customers in person, via Etsy, and through social media. I feel honored to have my craft become a part of someone's home. Below are some pictures from customers and those who have received John Riley Pottery as gifts. If you've purchased an item from me, I would love to hear about how the pottery is being utilized in your home. Email me an action shot! (Let me know if I have your permission to post the photo.)

This page is based on the Pots in Action idea developed by Ayumi Horie, a potter located in Portland, Maine. In 2005, Ayumi began posting photos of her pottery and mapped the location where they were being used. The project has since evolved into the crowd sourced Pots in Action project and is utilized by potters and ceramists to share photos of their work, processes, and experiences on Instagram.
